might be the best breakfast i’ve ever had in the uk, came here multiple times with my gf when we lived in ashby and still come up occasionally as it’s so good and also so cheap, milkshakes are great too

What a treat! We went here for my mums birthday and was blown away with how good it was. The staff were super attentive and welcoming with a candle being added to her breakfast for an even greater experience - she loved it and we'll definitely be back very soon!

This is my favorite coffee to go place in Ashby. Most wonderful and friendly owner is Andrea. I look forward to relaxing and having my favorite coffee here which range from Capuccino, Lattes, Americanos and to my delight even Frappe. Variety of delicious breakfast to chose from. Two of the breakfasts I have had are the poached eggs with salmon in a bun with hollandaise sauce and the Haloumi Breakfast with egg, mushroom, avocado, Haloumi cheese in Pita bread. Very rustic relaxing decor with the most fragrant coffee and breakfast aromas. The service and atmosphere is friendly and laid back. Andreas makes The Olive Branch Cafe a warm and welcoming place. Fantastic coffee shop for all. 🙂

We have been to the Olive Branch so many times now and they never have got it wrong, we always say its amazing to find a place which always gets it bang on every time. The Pita breakfast was perfect (again!) And I do not know what they do to their halloumi and mushrooms but they always are so tasty. Everythings fresh, and the staff are always friendly, especially the manager who clearly loves his business and his customers. If you want good coffee, good food and a bill that won't break the bank, Olive Branch is the perfect option!

Not a community cafe, but a cafe serving its community, with clean uncomplicated decor. Clearly the people in the area know where to come, as there were plenty of customers inside enjoying great tasting hot food, kept warm throughout the meal by the hot dish it was presented in. Friendly staff greeted me and made me feel more than welcome from the offset On my revisit very little has changed which is good because as anyone who is self employed knows, consistency is key.

No tables when we arrived but the staff were amazing and we only waited a couple of minutes before we were seated. Coffee was excellent and the large full english was the best i've ever had in all honesty. Nice high ceiling makes it feel spacious, and again, the staff and the guy running the place made us feel so welcome and were great with our little one. So many places get the personal touches wrong but the other things right or vice versa but this place has it all for me. Can't wait to go back!

Popped in for brunch after visiting the nearby health centre with my elderly parents. Met with a really warm welcome and shown to a table. The owner's kindly tweaked my dad's order for him and within minutes warm and freshly cooked food arrived. I had the pancakes which were divine. Great food and service, wish I didn't live so far away from this little gem! Very well priced too.

I heard about this lovely cafè and I decide to pop in today and since I pass through the main door I felt my self be surrounded by a nice and warm atmosphere. The owner, I'm assume, invite me to sit at one the table inside. It's good that even though business like this one has been affect by this pandemic the staff around was very friendly not just with me but with the other customers and they always served me with a big smile! My lunch break was made by a combination between this place, people around and great food! I had a pita gyros and I enjoyed every single part of my meal everything was clearly fresh and the homemade zazitky sauce has been a quite good surprise, chips were amazingly fried. Before leave I had a Pumpkin spice latte topped with whipped cream spices and for coffee lovers like me I can only say that was very tasted! I will definitely coming back to the Olive Branch Cafè in Ashby because I can't wait to try all the other meals on the menu. I will recommend this place to everyone the quality is unique! Thank you

Very welcoming staff. Unfortunately for me the chairs were uncomfortable and the room was a bit echoey. Also, the cakes were dry. If they put cushions on the chairs, improved the food quality (main meals and cakes, so they were locally sourced) and made sure the staff new more about the food. It would greatly improve it for me. It wouldn't take much for it to be a first class cafe. Personally I won't be going back. Side note. Why bother selling special bread flour, when you don't use it in your menu?? Maybe visit Lakeview cafe in Measham for menu ideas.

My friend and I enjoyed a lovely meal at Zamani's. My friend had a gluten-free meal, and I had a vegan meal. Service was friendly and discreet. We ate early on a Friday. It was quiet when we arrived but soon filled up, so it's probably best to book a table in advance. I'd certainly go again if I'm ever in Ashby-de-la- Zouche again.

I visited the restaurant on Saturday 25th Feb as part of a large group (50+people). Now I understand that 50 people arriving at the same time is a bit of a nightmare but, as I understand it, Marco was given all of our menu choices in advance. Anyway, we arrived at 7pm and received our starter at 8.20pm. This wasn't a huge issue as we were enjoying the company of our friends, however as the night went on it meant that some had finished their meals and others hadn't even had their mains, some never got them and left. The waitresses did their best to calm the waters and generally the mood was OK despite the obvious problems. The food when it did arrive was acceptable, but I had expected slightly better than acceptable to be honest. We asked for parmesan and was told there wasnt any tonight. Some on our table didn't eat their mains as they said it was bland and left before their deserts. As I say, I get 50 people is a bit of a logistical nightmare but surely the restaurant should have been prepared for that? All in all I would advise not to visit if you're in a large group.
